I have now had this printer for awhile, I have 2800hrs of print time on it. I have had no part failures other than one micro switch had a wire soldered to the wrong terminal, and nozzles which do wear out. The assembly experiance was not good. The instructions were horrible but there are some better youtube videos. I wil advise anyone who is not electrically and mechanically inclined to stay away, just buy one that is ready to go (for 4 times the price) that being said this was my first printer it has been a great learning experiance, I have successfully printed with pla, pteg, abs, nylon, and filaflex. I am using Repeiter with cura to slice. I would recomend putting a screw in the nozzle cooling fan duct because i did have it work loose during some longer prints. I would look into building an enclosure if you do do alot of abs prints. Overall this has been a great printer, it prints everything i feed it and I have no probelm leaving it to do a 20hr print while I go to work. If you are a diy person this is for you, once you figure out the setting for the filament you're using its great.

Great printer. Alright silent instructions. Came with a leaking hotend tube and a bad linear bearing and two bent rods.. I am now replacing my bed bearing and rod. Thank god it was the single bearing side.

The Kit comes in a compact and nicely sorted package.
It includes also all tools needed for assembly, I just used my own screwdrivers since the ones included where of lower quality.
The assembly took my roughly 5-6h. You need a computer since the instructions are in pdf and movie format on the SD card.
There was even a USB adapter for the SD card included, which I thought was a nice touch.
The video's do not have sound therefore you should watch them and check the pdf out for every section of the assembly.
I only needed a bit of heat resistant silicon paste that was not included to glue the thermistor into the hot end.
Everything is kept simple and practical, which allows for simple fixes or upgrades if you ever want to tinker with the printer later on.

This 3D. Printers is the first one I have ever purchased. It is a good one to start out with, very user friendly. So far it has only mess up twice but easy to stop and try again. One day we will buy a bigger 3D printer and I hope it is easy, user friendly like this one. One hint before I go. Push down the tray after you let it do its adjustments and before you start the warming process. You will burn a hole in the tray. First start was very disappointed and messing up the tray from the get go but no fault to my own. Would like to know if there is an easier way to get the object that build off the tray? Other then that I an very pleased with this product.

This printer was my entry into 3d printing while this kit can be challenging at times to build and can be a bit hard to learn how to use, once you get up and going this printer works great. This is the perfect printer to start out with the directions to build the printer are not too complicated and it provides a great opportunity to learn about how the printer functions. Unlike other prebuilt printers when somethings goes wrong you can only go to the people who made it to find out the issue , with this kit you can solve the problem yourself without having to wait for other companies to get back to you. But, if something does go wrong and you can fix it the team at alunar are great at communicating with you and quickly solving the issue.
Pros: Low Price
Decent print quality
Able to upgrade/ customize
Great value for price

Cons: Difficult to perfect the prints
Acrylic frame can wobble during printing
Printing can be loud at times

I purchased a second unit and have added more review info at the bottom of this review
First off I was NOT in any way paid, discounted or asked for this review.
I have only recently gotten into the 3D Printing fray and originally purchased an already built printer that is a nice little machine but I soon wanted more.
